My personal opinion is that this lens will be aimed at the Sports/PJ crowd more than the wildlife/safari crowd but with the larger sensors and crop capabilities today it is certainly more flexible at its likely much lower weight.
I’d love one of these but just don’t cover the volume of sports anymore and I’m happy with my 180-600 for my casual wildlife photos. Heck I’m covering a MLB game tomorrow with my trusty old 200-400 f4 that still delivers the goods adopted. That and my 300 2.8 vrii will have to suffice while keeping my ageing biceps in shape
That''s true but I found using the RF 100-300 with ether TC to be pretty exceptional shooting mammals in South Africa. However I will say the built TC is drawing me back. I originally left Canon for Nikon when I received my 400TC in the first few days after release. I only jumped back to Canon for the RF 100-300 and the R1. I am seriously considering getting the Z 120-300TC... the only thing I a not sure about is going back to the Z9... as great of a body as it I find the R1 to be better (minus the low MP of course).
